Auditorium flowing to XBLA, PSN and PSP next year
We haven't heard anything about Cipher Prime's plans to port its hypnotic musical puzzler, Auditorium, since the studio won a publishing contract in the 2BeeGames competition back in July. Today, a press release from newly named publisher Zoo Games revealed a few details about the title's console destinations: It's coming to Xbox Live Arcade and PSN, both as a PS3 and PSP download "early next year." For those who want to know what the soothing buzz is all about, you can check out Auditorium for free on the 2BeeGames site. For those who can't access that site for some reason, just turn on some classical music, go turn on the nearest water faucet, and try to redirect the stream with your hands.
Indie music-puzzle game Auditorium coming to consoles
Auditorium has been singularly responsible for reducing the work capacity of this blogger. Why? It's addictive -- why not give it a try? The music-puzzle game is simple to learn, but hard to master. An ethereal stream flows across the screen and players must position various orbs to redirect the flow. As you activate various pads, the background music becomes far more complex and lively. (Let's just say it's much more effective to play than to explain.)The developer, Cipher Prime, recently won an indie game competition at 2BeeGames, and will now find the game published across multiple console systems. While specifics haven't been announced yet, we're hopeful to see the game appear on as many platforms as possible.
